This is a beautiful Victorian little etui for coins, or thimbles or any little items, often used to store little sewing kits. It is made of mother of pearl and banded round the edge in brass with a good brass hinge. It is quite a large piece at 2.5 inches long and opens with two little clasp flaps helping to open. The banding sits adrift and it needs a little coaxing to seal it up. It has a few stable hair lines and it is a lovely little antique that displays nicely.
As an antique item it will show signs of age and patina.
Please examine the photographs carefully and do feel free to ask any questions, I am happy to help.
